The Truth about LED headlights vs Halogen or HID! 

Lmaooo trueee Am I the only one that if I’m in front of one a kinds of flashes ??

Your just plain overdramatic lol

@@kingOpooPee of people just be runnin their brights all the time around him lmao

Tint your windshield

That’s what u get for not going my way

Yes,Conclusion is: LED make more accidents.

Don’t look directly into them and you wont have an issue 🥴

@@Dee12327 that's not true, but okay

@@timbango2090 yes it is just focus your eyes on the painted line on the road and it won’t blind you

@@Fatjucvhg you do realize not everyone has the same vision right? There would be no need for eye prescriptions if what you say is true. The fact your saying I'm staring into lights without possibly knowing that to be true. Tells me your talking out your ass. I'm guessing you have these lights and my comment made you feel insecure. But I'm not against them I also like them and believe in a free country. But the truth is the truth.

Thats right the driver side needs to be adjusted and tilted lower so that it's not blinding on coming traffic most don't do that they install and go or they adjust the driver side to match the passenger which isn't how you want it for street driving.

@@neoskater420 what’s the proper way to do it?

Too many people use bad led lights which is why we are all complaining lmao

Exactly! Same problem when people put hids in a housing designed for halogen bulbs

That's actually false the housing don't matter its the installation that's the issue. People buy led or hid lights and just install them which is not the proper way. When installation new lights light led or hid you leave your original Halogen bulb in on one side and adjust the led or hid side accordingly to match the Halogen side then install the other side matching the height of the already adjusted side. Doing this keeps your lights in proper adjustment that doesn't blind anyone. People who do lift kits in trucks also don't adjust for the lift. Ive installed hundreds of lights never had an issue. Led and hid are far superior to Halogen lights

They also check the bulb. In the UK, retro fitting LED lights are not permitted unless the vehicle was manufactured before the 1st of April 1986 or originally came with LED lights. Halfords sell LED headlights that would pass the MOT on light pattern, but on the packet, it states they are for off-road use only.

I wish the US had this.

They should only be allowed for High Beam

All DOT approved LED bulbs are safe to use. They are within range to be legal. Also don’t think all are equal, because I have halogens that are brighter than LEDs

Totally not true. They just need to be aimed properly. Inexplicable how so many people thing that LED light rays somehow bend up toward oncoming traffic, but halogen light rays do not. If "old" bulbs were improperly aimed at your face, that would also be dangerous.

​@@ckmoore101 Thank goodness someone has a brain... 🙌

They already do. It's called 6500k and below

They do. The problem is people can adjust the angle in which the light is pitched. It looks better for them, blinding for you.

yes yes yes

@@madskillzyo 6500k describes light color, not the brightness output. Xenon has approx 3000lm, where LED 100lm/watt.

They do. But all the aftermarket LEDs aren't legal in most states. Keyword: aftermarket.

Halogen are way safer than any LEDs. Specially those old cars running on Brown bulbs are completely safer than any EVs main headlights and EV LED headlamp sometimes doesn't have Fog lamp. So you have to careful driving in foggy situations.

me

Yup, that's me. I'm sick of bring blinded on the road, so I'm going to start blinding other people just for the hell of it. Looking into light bars and stuff. I'm going all out. I'm sick of being the underdog on the road. Time to get aggressive.

Just bought mine. They're coming in tomorrow

Literally me researching leds rn

I get blinded by Police Ford Explorers' LED headlights in my car. I'm this close to just installing the brightest LED headlights I can find to combat it since more than half of oncoming vehicles have their lights adjusted too high for car drivers.

You are 100% correct

I have HIDS not too bright or dim Those bright LED should be for high beam only

I agree. That's why I installed LEDs in my stock halogen housings, so I could give back the pain to asswipe drivers.

fr!

Quit driving slow in the left lane and they wouldn’t be in your rear view

While also having the LED Uni Light, as well. I have to Remind Myself that I can't Afford a Premium Increase if I Reverse Ram their Lights. 😂 (A Little like Kathy Bates in "Fried Green Tomatoes" over the Parking Spot.) 😂

So the non-binary Ford trucks that are lifted are ok?

@@matthewgeissinger2856 no such thing. they all gay

Well my lifted Ford must be “Cis” as I get blamed for everything. That’s why I like to pull up to the left a bit to make sure my light is right in your mirror just to piss you off.

100%

You can’t aim glare…. 🤦‍♂️. You can’t see any better with LED in general…

You can in fact aim the lights, but what you are speaking of is positioning the LED properly so that they reflect correctly through the assembly to prevent that obnoxious glare.

@@dihaji you have no idea what you’re taking about. Glare can’t be aimed. Glare can’t be controlled. Glare is just what happens when useless scum peasants buy LED bulbs to replace halogen ones….

@@dihaji H* LED radiates in every direction. if you put them in a Reflector housing. and it can never be aimed. if you talk about projector housing, then it can be aimed. (or it will be automatic aimed, depends or car). but that will damage the projector.

​@@sjfk1306you can when you put them in a halogen housing, like I did. Finally got sick of being blinded by asswipe drivers. Time to give back to my community.

people are just retarded and run the 5000lm capable ones as lowbeams for some reason, i got for fahren forschers for that exact reason as it starts out near ~2300lm which is bright but but not blinding and maintains its light output to ~2100 after like 30mins which is good for long trips where the light output of your headlights is bound to drop yet you still need good, bright lights. i havent got new high beams yet as i dont have much of a need but when i do best believe im gonna match the energy of the retards running 5000lm capable leds and im getting a pair of fahren terminators

I personally use 20,000 Lumen LEDs They're wonderful! I guess no one ever taught you to look at the line if there are bright lights in your face? I personally prefer being able to see something long before there's even a chance of me colliding with it! I also prefer buying headlight bulb 1 single time rather than wasting my money on bulbs that don't provide proper lighting for the pitch black country!

​@@icypanda2376 Funny you mention the pitch black country. I'm in the mountains. When it's pitch black and someone with the LEDs is approaching, it's tough to see if that's a pothole, rock, roadkill, tree limb, or whatever because I'm looking at the line... and I'm in an SUV. Can't imagine what older sedans go through, though I remember last decade being blinded in my '96 Outback simply because it was lower to the ground while everyone in newer vehicles were higher up with their low lights aimed right in my face and still blinding me. It's not just about looking to the line. It's car/ driver height. It's headlight angle. It's pitch black vs lights in your face. It's not as bad in the cities when there is some ambient light. But you get on the winding backroads with a waning moon or cloud cover? Opposing traffic can blind you at the worst time, and no amount of "look to the side" can prevent some accidents.

@@Undomaranel I guess I never looked at it that way. I personally can't say that I've been "blinded" by another person headlights, is it more difficult to see sometimes... a little bit, but I almost always just look towards the line and I can see everything I need to. Maybe it's the windy roads where the main issues occur. I don't have too many windy roads around me and the ones that are near are pretty wide and you can usually see when someone's coming around the next corner. Also just wanted to say the 20,000 lumens was just me joking I do have LED's but they're nowhere near that strong!

@@icypanda2376 I'm in WA. Out east we have wide, straight roads that aren't an issue except the odd tumbleweed and deer. In the middle we have winding highways filled with trees, rocks, coyotes, porcupine, skunk, you name it. Then out west it's trees on either side blocking out every scrap of light, clouds and rain, and all the wildlife I mentioned plus elk, bear, beaver, otter, etc. And birds, owls to magpies you _will_ hit a bird and/or marmot out here. Being able to see is key, which is why I don't begrudge people the LEDs (though the reflections on puddles are trippy). But at the same time, older vehicles get it the worst because everything newer than '00 is just higher off the ground. It's one of those situations where there's pros and cons, and if you're driving then just be aware... and doubly aware in the dark anyway. Safe driving fam!

LMFAOOOOOOOOOOO

😂

I had the option to Translate to English, so I tried to see if Google could translate Hick. We’re not there yet fellas.

How about when these blind fools are slow driving with these brights on, and it kust happens to be a one lane road. Very annoying...

So get a bigger vehicle

@@Turbinelife87 nah

That's litterally how to make the problem even worste💀

😂😂

true 😂

get them banned

at least they're keeping it festive

Try Xenon bulbs next time, much brighter!

Those Phillips tinted halogen bulbs are only a tiny bit brighter or the same as oem you need HID or LED for a significant difference

@@beikdw5762 those suck so does the Philips not sure if you are in a car or truck but my nissan frontier needs better bulbs after trying those. I drive the city during the week an d offroad camp on the weekends those lights are not enough when it's too dark even in the city they are just not enough for me to see properly so I need to upgrade to led see if there is an improvement over those crappy halogens as my friend has led everything on his Tacoma from 2004 you can see everything even his dome lights are led very nice to actually see 👀

Are they really good? Pls reply

All people in your oncoming lane thank you in advance!

Exactly, i had in my car H7 halogen. And once i ordered 2 led h7. after a night drive. a busdriver warned me, with his bi-Xenon lights. Because i felt bad for him, i stopped my light and changed back to halogen. drive back to him. and he did a thumbs up to me. :) Now i changed the entire headlights to factory Xenon.

@@multiomer1997 xenon lights are just as bad in my opinion, the way to go is led high beams and halogen low beams, that way you can see the future with your high beams and your low beams won’t hurt anyone’s eyes

​@@shaneomac5074that's, still a lamp not LED. But is more on upgrade compared to halogen because. Now instead of using any kind of reflection to maximize the lighting, now you don't need reflection in a bulb because now it has untransparent glass that looks like a projector called "the projector lamps"

Right terrible commentary

The shitty yellow ones

Even then ours is not as bright as their retrofit bulbs...smh

I used to do that but every time they woudk turn on their highbeams, and then theres nothing i could do to outmatch that 😂

Actually they don't if a person adjusts them correctly the lights won't shine brightly in your face

@@tdbone35 thanks for sparing my time

No. if the led lights are in the proper projector housings and aimed correctly then they're far superior to any halogen.

​@@xarch7208Yeah, but who has that? 90% of vehicles that currently have LED lights do not have lighting regulations, and cause glare to other drivers.

You need abit of bright lights but not wayy to bright like LEDs conventional halogen or projector lamps with normal fog lamp brown color lights are alot safer than any LEDs which EV is using sometimes EV don't have any fog lamps which is abit critical in foggy situations.

Unless its a 4Runner...or a Corolla FLM

Interesting. Thanks for informing me of that.

It will never be 20000lumen. 6000lumen per bulb is the maximum nowadays.

Those silver star bulbs are crap they arnt much brighter and they always burn out in like 6 months

@@ledcarlightmanufacturer6714 bro, xenon has 3000lm with automatic height adjustment/headlight washing, where in halogen headlight there is nothing. And to put there a 6000lm LED bulb, fok me. It should be illegal(it is, actually). Fix you fking headlights first.

Correct! Aftermarket headlights are blinding and horrible!

Cops rather destroys weeds plants instead of giving them fines...

I have halogen housing and it produces a clean perfect line.

@@hmsailor6133 From the way you described it sounded like a regular reflector housing. A projector housing has just one big lens in the middle and you won't see the bulb directly.

Shabash bhai, only one sane person here

Save the halogen and just swap it out before the MOT it takes all of 5 min.
